server
time.microsoft.com?]
dig time.windows.com =>

Yes. windows.com is a real live domain name, (owned by Microsoft), and
time.windows.com is a real host name with actual records. And it
appears to be a legit time server.
I should point our ntp servers at it just for giggles.
But I just meant why the heck is the default time.windows.com instead of
time.microsoft.com? Wouldn't that make more sense? Richard Stallman could
own windows.com for all I know. Was it Xerox who invented the original GUI?
It could be owned by Xerox.
I guess Microsoft doesn't think that way. Windows is Microsoft, Microsoft is
Windows.
But we digress.
